Chloe Bailey sued by Melvin Moore over songwriting credits and copyright infringement
Songwriter and producer Melvin Moore has filed a lawsuit against singer Chloe Bailey and her record labels, Columbia Records and Parkwood Entertainment, alleging deceptive business practices and exploitation of his work. According to Variety, Moore claims he was not properly credited or compensated for his contributions to Bailey's 2024 album Trouble in Paradise, specifically for the songs Favorite, Same Lingerie, and Might as Well. Moore, who also goes by the stage name OneInThe4Rest (4Rest), is a Grammy-nominated songwriter with an extensive career working with artists like Usher, Chris Brown, John Legend, BTS, Kanye West, and Drake. His legal filing, submitted on February 20, 2025, accuses the defendants of copyright infringement, fraudulent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, civil conspiracy, and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). According to the lawsuit, Moore's lyrics and narratives were derived from personal experiences, including his relationships and struggles, making their alleged unauthorized use a serious issue. His legal team contends that Bailey and her associates acted as 'modern-day swindlers' by failing to engage in attempts to settle the matter amicably. Moore is seeking statutory damages of up to $150,000 per infringement and punitive damages of $5 million per song. Additionally, a cease-and-desist letter has been sent to Bailey's team, demanding $10,000 in compensation and the immediate suspension of the songs' commercial use until a resolution is reached. The lawsuit follows a recent statement by Tiffany Red, founder of The 100 Percenters, a music advocacy group, which criticized Bailey for allegedly releasing Moore's work without consent or payment. As of now, Chloe Bailey and the record labels have not publicly commented on the lawsuit.

When the American singer-songwriter Neko Case was a kid growing up in Washington state, she thought she was Canadian. "In the '70s there weren't a lot of media outlets," she tells Q 's Tom Power in an interview. "We had CBC … and so I remember being in school as a little girl and being asked what country we live in, and I said Canada because I just heard Canadian media all the time. I thought we were Canadian." Case is best known as a solo artist as well as a member of The New Pornographers, one of Canada's most beloved indie rock bands. She recently released a new memoir, The Harder I Fight The More I Love You, which details her path to becoming a Grammy-nominated artist, and how she found her home in the Canadian music scene. WATCH | Neko Case's full interview with Tom Power: In 1994, Case moved to Vancouver to attend the Emily Carr University of Art and Design, where she found a thriving community of artists. "It was the most positive change that I remember happening in my life," she says. "The Canadian music scene is very different than it was in the United States. If you're in a band in Vancouver, you have to just be OK with the fact that your bass player is going to be in five other bands because the population just isn't what it is in the United States. There's just less people. So there was more of a potluck sort of feel rather than a competitive feel. I think that was the healthiest thing I've ever been a part of." [In Vancouver,] there was more of a potluck sort of feel rather than a competitive feel. - Neko Case While it seems more typical for a Canadian musician to move to the U.S., rather than the other way around, Case says she thinks the music scene in Canada is "much healthier" than it is below the border. She's happy to be considered an honourary Canadian. But there is a question of whether she uses Canadian or American spelling. Power notes that her breakthrough hit Favorite off her 2001 EP Canadian Amp is spelled the American way, without a u.
